As the Parenting Lead and Emotional Literacy specialist at Bridge the Gap, I'm passionate about creating engaging content for children, parents, and professionals alike. I'm immensely proud of the original content we've crafted as a team. The feedback we receive tells us that people feel more confident, knowing the language and curriculum have been developed by professionals. My journey is deeply personal, as I've navigated mental health challenges alongside my professional endeavours. This blend of lived experience and expertise allows me to meet individuals exactly where they are and provide safe, non-judgmental spaces for growth. Beyond my professional life, I cherish time with my family. Bridge the Gap isn't just a job for me; it's a calling. I feel immense pride in the original content we've created as a team at Bridge the Gap.

I'm Nikki Webster, I have a wealth of experience as a fully registered mental health nurse, ACT therapist, and practitioner trained in Behavioural Family Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My journey includes significant time within secondary mental health services, working closely with both young people and adults facing significant mental health challenges. Throughout my (over 16 years!) in the field, I've often encountered individuals who expressed a shared sentiment: "If I had known this sooner, I might not be in this difficult place now." This powerful realisation has underscored the crucial need for proactive and early intervention work. It's this understanding that has fuelled my passion for delivering evidence-based emotional literacy and mental health awareness to children. Emotional Literacy, aligned seamlessly with my experience, and it takes on a central role in our online learning approach. By integrating all these aspects, we've crafted online learning that genuinely makes a difference in the lives of parents, professionals, and, most importantly, children. Join us on this transformative journey, where knowledge and proactive intervention empower individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and well-being.
